Trolls, Bears, & Ghosts

We took a quick camping trip to Adventures Unlimited this weekend due to the beautiful weather we'd been having. I've been promising to let Ava join us on a trip and this seemed like a good weekend to try it out. She's a good bit younger than the girls and often gets home sick when she's away. Needless to say I was a little nervous as to how she would react in the woods at night...especially since John mentioned all her most feared creatures within 2 hrs of being their...Trolls, Bears & Ghosts. All things that probably have never come up in a conversation between them ever...

She made it just the same & we even had a camp break in by raccoons to liven up the night! The kids enjoyed swimming in the frigid waters & as usual the smores were a highlight as well.

We finished the weekend up with a quick dip at Nana & Papa's.

It was loud, it was messy at times, and it was most definitely chaotic...but overall...I'd say it was a fairly successful weekend for Gavin's big 1-1. Friday night he had 4 friends spend the night & though I had a mini stroke over a legitimate offer to spray paint part of our outside storage area, the boys had a blast. Gavin is really hung up on  Guthrie's  right now so we started the evening out with Guthrie's for dinner & then John, begin the brave (insane) loaded all the boys up and took them to see Ice Age.  They returned home with plenty of energy to burn & spent the rest of the evening playing outside and having video game battles. Thanks to my saint of sister who kept the girls, it was a boys only zone, and was undoubtably outnumbered.  The next morning, though they were up VERY late,...

The Who's Who of Whoville

 The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.

Birthday Bash Numero Uno

Pretend It's January 5th, 2013 It's Birthday Season here at the Brandito Lair! Mr. Brandt heads back tomorrow and it's time for the annual triple treat birthday party for Mr. B, Uncle Danny and Annabelle.  Katy made 2 delicious cakes for the event. The boys got their own green cake and Annabelle got her own special Mario Cake.  We had some delicious food and the Birthday people got lots of special prizes!  The UnBirthday Party was definitely a success!
